Item Description
This Handcrafted Daruma will bring you good fortune! A treasure from the Tohoku region of Japan, this specific Daruma came directly from the maker. This daruma stands approximately 5" tall.
13th generation Master Watanabe of Shirakawa Daruma has been creating the iconic Daruma style of Shirakawa City, located in the Fukushima Prefecture for 40 years. Master Watanabe believes that it is important to preserve and protect the traditional style of daruma as well as the venue that it is produced in and the Watanabe studio was awarded historic preservation status by the Shirakawa City government as the original footprint and many areas of the workshop have remained unchanged since the Edo Period. Master Watanabe’s wife Sachiko is also a well respected artist who produces a more modern style of daruma. She is often requested to make one of a kind daruma for many businesses, individuals and special events, including for the SF Giants, commissioned by the JCCCNC.
